Is there anyone out there working on V extension GPU ? ---

The V extension is still in draft. It is a CPU instruction set extension, not a GPU, but you could do some software accelerated graphics using it. There are a number of companies involved with the V extension committee, and it is a fair assumption that most of them are looking at V extension implementations. A few of these were announced at the recent RISC-V Summit. [https://riscv.org/2018/12/inaugural-risc-v-summit-proceedings/](https://riscv.org/2018/12/inaugural-risc-v-summit-proceedings/) I haven’t looked at them all, but there are at least four that talk about vector support, UC Berkeley, Esperanto, VectorBlox, and ETH Zurich. Not all of those are straight V extension implementations, some are experimental, and some are proprietary. It will likely be awhile before anything is commercially available, and even longer before anything is available to consumers. ---

Thank you Jim.
